Excused: Jeff Walters and Jerry Jeppesen. Mayor and Council: Mayor-Nile Boyle, Council- Brad Liljenquist, Nyle Fullmer, Jim Flamm, City Attorney- J. D. Hancock, City Clerk- Rose Bagley. County: Commissioners - Dell Barney, Dave Rasmussen, Marlin Hill, County Clerk - Beth Reese. John Millar told the group that this meeting was an informal work session. No formal business would take place. J. D. Hancock had drafted an Ordinance with rules for the Impact Zone. The county will have to do something similar. Karen Rogers & J. D. worked together on this ordinance. They had tried to incorporate what had been discussed at previous meetings. Dell Barney stated we should address the animal issue without naming names, possibly put in legal descriptions of the property, because the zoning goes with the property not the person. There were additional names that need to be added to that list. We need to work to get it right. Leave the number line for the amount of stock up to the ranchers. Dell Barney said people have told him they don't want to get permission to designate when they are coming back in to cattle business. John told him the intent is when they go out of business they need to notify the Planning & Zoning so they will know how to protect the property. J. D. Hancock stated that they need to submit a written declaration of abandonment filed with Planning & Zoning. A discussion on Home Occupations- It should be more liberal. It should be stricken. It should be stricken from Agricultural. It should be put in Rural Residential. Discussion on HBD. Marlin Hill suggested that on the building permit they state the intention for the property. We need to form a committee for a common law court with 12 people to make the decisions as if it is right or wrong. Richard Smith - To make me subject to court, I would not like it. This group is doing the same thing. 1'~`~ Dave Rasmussen thought the less rules and regulations the better. • Could the county set a sub division ordinance and arterial rules on building. Dell Barney stated that planning is needed in Madison County for Madison County by Madison County. Suggestion that we need to shrink the Impact Zone down to the area that we think will be annexed and progressively change it. If the county would get some ordinances regulating the arterials and sub divisions that would help. Dave Rasmussen suggested that the county form a committee and discuss it and put something together. This might work. He asked what time frame the city would want. Dell Barney said it might take a year. Dave suggested two or three months. Jim Flamm suggested that we loosen up the conditional use requirements. John Millar said if the county will look at that we will look at bringing in the boundaries. He suggested that some city residents be on the committee. Jim Long felt there needed to be an interim ordinance to restrict arterials on county roads. Brad Liljenquist felt that sub divisions, arterials, business and industry should be included. John Millar said if this committee will happen, we will take no further action for a three month period. Richard Smith - Asked the county if they were willing to set up a moratorium for requirements on sub divisions, arterials and what ever that is not in the process yet. This really requires immediate action. It should be that nothing can be done without the commissioners permission. John Millar stated that a total moratorium is not fair, but we need assurance of progression in three months. Dave Rasmussen said they would put together a committee and get some feeling. Dell Barney thought we would see a positive reaction. Brad Liljenquist felt we could give them three or four months, but could not drag it out for one year. Dave Rasmussen asked if they could have until June 1, they would form a committee and get a feeling. Richard said by 6 months we would need firm rules set. The city will look at the boundaries of the Impact Zone. A sub division ordinance should not be as restrictive as the iµ5 ~~ i city sub division ordinance. J. D. Hancock suggested they could check with other counties who might have a sub division ordinance. John Millar polled the board members. If we give them a 90 day period and the county would move on what they can and we will define the Impact Zone. Dave Pincock - We should give them 120 days. Mary Ann Mounts - Yes it would be okay. Davawn Beattie - Yes, give two dates - one date to .get back with us and another date to finalize it. Scott Mortensen- I'm in favor and agree with Davawn, we need to define what the area of city impact is and include Industrial and Commercial concerns. Jim Long - I would like to see the committee communicate with the Planning & Zoning. I would like to see some communication with the people to let them know what if happening and organizing the positive people. Marsha Bjornn- Would like to see Richard and Jerry on the committee and give them 90 days. John Millar said we would put it on hold for 120 days. If nothing is done then we will work toward passing this ordinance. We will bring in the boundaries of the zone to a 15 year growth. We hope they will invite one of us to attend the meeting. i, Suggestion that we get a letter out to the county and in turn it be sent to the paper to be published. We need to describe what is going on in the paper. Marsha suggested that we could have a question and answer format put in the paper with the answers. • Madison County Commission Madison County Courthouse Rexburg, Idaho 83440 January 18, 1993 Gentlemen, Oil behalf of the Rexburg Planning and Zoning Commission, I would like to thank you for your discussion and input at our recent work meeting concerning the proposed Area of City Impact surrounding the City of Rexburg. - Pursuant to discussions at the meeting, it is the understanding of the the Planning and Zoning Commission that no further action shall be taken by the City of Rexburg towards implementation of the impact zone for a period of 120 days.

New development, whether residential, industrial or commercial, should not be allowed to adversely effect existing agricultural uses. 4.
